Dara Squashes Beef With Bailey But Drops Bombshell About Ben Flirtation on Summer House Season 10

Dara Levitan finally confronted Bailey Taylor at Lindsay’s housewarming party — and the conversation took a surprising turn.

In Summer House Season 10 Episode 10, Dara decided it was time to clear the air about the rumor that nearly derailed her budding romance with KJ.

The drama started in Episode 8 when Lindsay told KJ that Bailey claimed Dara spent an hour in Ben’s room during her last visit, changing outfits and allegedly flirting heavily. That accusation triggered KJ’s panic attack and forced Dara to defend herself.

At the party, Dara went straight to Bailey. Instead of denying everything, Dara admitted she did go into Ben’s room — but only briefly to change out of her costume because her luggage was there. Bailey stood her ground, saying she wasn’t accusing them of hooking up, just that there was “very clearly a Ben and Dara moment happening.”

Bailey added in her confessional: “I might be extremely dramatic, but I’m not a liar. I might fluff it a little, but I would never lie.”

The moment shifted when Dara scoffed and said, “They all get their feelings hurt when they’re rejected.” It was a subtle but telling admission that there had been real flirtation between her and Ben before she chose KJ.

Bailey’s Pot-Stirring Reputation Grows

This confrontation solidifies Bailey’s role as Season 10’s biggest chaos agent. From her messy “joke” about Ben wanting Amanda in Episode 7 (which led to their Spin the Bottle kiss and Bailey declaring her crush “dunzo”) to dropping the Ben’s room rumor in Episode 8, Bailey has been at the center of multiple conflicts.

While Dara tried to squash the beef, the damage may already be done. KJ and Dara’s fast-moving romance — which began with flirty boxing lessons and an invitation to the house in Episode 7 — has been under a cloud of doubt ever since the rumor surfaced.

Jesse’s Suspicion Adds Another Layer

The drama didn’t stop there. Jesse expressed confusion in his confessional about Ben’s situation with Sabrina. He pointed out that Ben had claimed he wasn’t seeing anyone while apparently having a secret girlfriend, calling it “a good theory.”

Meanwhile, Ben was busy trying to win Sabrina back after freezing up when she told him “I love you.” He admitted he was nervous about reaching out again, but she gave him another shot.

The contrast was striking: while Dara and Bailey were clearing the air (sort of), Ben was dealing with his own messy romantic history — and Amanda had stirred the pot by telling Sabrina that “everybody in the house thinks he’s in love with me,” which Ben later confronted her about.

Where Things Stand Now

Dara walked away from the conversation feeling validated that she wasn’t crazy for sensing flirtation with Ben, but the group is still watching to see if KJ will fully trust her moving forward.

Bailey, for her part, continues to walk the line between dramatic and messy. She insists she’s not a liar — just someone who “fluffs” the truth.

As the season pushes forward, this Dara-Bailey moment feels like it could have lasting ripple effects on the new romances forming in the house. With Carl texting Bailey for comfort and Ben juggling Sabrina, the newcomer dynamics are getting more complicated by the week.

Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock. The aftermath of this confrontation is only going to get messier.
